Comditional Formatting Problem
 

Can someone help me determine what is wrong with the following code.
I am needing to change the color of the text in a cell to red if the cell is
100%.
My code I have currently is follows.

Sub Red()
Range("F9:G9").Select
If ActiveCell.Value 100 Then
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub

I appreciate any help you can give me.
If I am taking the wrong approach please advise.
Thank You
Ed

Sub Red()
Range("F9").Select
If ActiveCell.Value 1 Then
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub

would be what i would try if your cells contains percentages.

Also, if you are only working with the activecell, why select more than one
cell.

Tom,
I apprecaite your help.
I have entered the Code as you instructed, but it still is not working
correctly.
I had originally chose 2 cells because those cells are merged. I am not sure
if this is the problem or not.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks again for your help.

do you absolutely need this to run in a macro. could you instead use the
conditional formatting function provided with Excel? Formatting Conditional
Formating
?

Sub Red()
Range("F9:G9").Select
If ActiveCell.Value 1 Then
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub

worked fine for me with F9:G9 merged.

cell was formatted as percentage and was displaying 101%

from the immediate window you can see the actual value stored in the cell:

? ActiveCell.Value
1.01

I guess you need to see what value is actually stored in the cell.

Sub Red()
Range("F9:G9").Select
MsgBox "Value: " & ActiveCell.Value & _
" Display: " & ActiveCell.Text
If ActiveCell.Value 1 Then
ActiveCell.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub

Ben, If you are meaning something like this:

[Green] [<=1] 0.0%; [Red] [1] ##0.0%; Percentage

Then yes I have tried that as well. I have not been able to get this to work
using any method. If you have other suggestions I am all ears.
Thanks for your help

Tom,
With your suggestion I have discoverd that the problem is not laying within
my code but rather the execution of the code.
I need this macro to run anytime the cell reaches 100.01%.
Do you have any suggestions for this.
We are taking a step in the right direction.
I appreciate your help on this.

[Green] [<=1] 0.0%; [Red] [1] ##0.0%;

worked fine for me as well. (formated the merged cells).

Ben probably wants you to try
Format=Conditional Formatting

Right click on the sheet tab and select view code. Put in code like this.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
With Range("F9:G9")
If IsError(.Item(1, 1).Value) Then
.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
Else
If .Item(1, 1).Value 1 Then
.Font.ColorIndex = 3
Else
.Font.ColorIndex = 4
End If
End If
End With

Comditional Formatting Problem
 

I need to format cells for the font to change color depending on how
the number relates to another cell on the row. I am using
Format/Conditional. When I use the Paste Format function, the
orginal comparing cell from the original row is reflected instead of
the appropriate row's cell. How do I copy the format so it reflects
each individual row's criteria? I appreciate your help! ~

Make sure any cell references in your condition are relative (eg.
"A1") and not absolute ("$A1$")

They should then automatically adjust when pasted.
